Who wants an Ice cold Coca Cola

[mattb483]

So this past week I put together an American style Coca cola Freightliner delivery truck. This Is a build I've been wanting to do for sometime but never got around do doing so till now. Pry the biggest obstacle for this truck was making a real working lift gate which I seceded in! So now to display this Rig I thought instead of showing a few Pics of it, I would show you just exactly What it does on its everyday delivery route... So here it is enjoy!!

So here we have the coke truck pulling into one of its stops here at the Pizzerea.

Here you see my Lift-gate fully functional folds down and lowers and raises

Now the delivery driver pulls out all the pallets to deliver

Now time to dolly in all the soda

Now time to collect the empty crates.

Now to load back up the truck

That's it off to the next stop!

Well I hope you all enjoyed there are a few more pictures here http://www.brickshel...ry.cgi?f=524621 Its not public yet but you can check it out when it is!Thanks for looking!

Great job! Very realistic. Your lift gate is excellent. I get truck deliveries at my job and your lift gate looks just like the real thing. Of course our Coke delivery is in a different kind of truck. I also love your pallet jack, very true to the original. Keep up the good work!

[JopieK]

Very nice ;) You thought, those red crates are so expensive I better create them myself? I like your handcar as well... You still need a vending machine though (free instructions at our site ;))

*oh2*

I love it. Especially the bottles on the palate. I don't know why, but they're great.

This truck is quite accurate! When I saw the first picture I thought it must be quite large, it was omly when I saw it next to a MF that I realzed just how much detail you were able to achieve. I reanlly like the hood and cab of be truck, very realistic looking. Of course the trailer and lift gate are also fantastic, but you didn't stop there, cases, pallets, even a pallet jack/lift.

Not the least is the great stickers/signage on the trailer.

Looks great! Could be an official set. (How about putting it on Cuusoo?)

[Aussie BJ]

Really nice looking set you've built there. And very impressive tail lift. I've been wanting to design one of these myself for a race car transporter so I may have to use this when the time comes.

Thanks for sharing and that's a lot of soda for a little pizzeria shop.

One word.....AWESOME.....I love Coca-Cola and your truck plus merchandise is fantastic.......spent a lot of time making stickers eh ? (glad I'm not the only one who does that ).

Brick On always with a Coke 'mattb483' !

[L@go]

That's a very nice truck with some great details (crates, pallet jack) - and the whole delivery sequence is superb. Great job!

I think maybe the front end would look even better if you had used a 3x4 33 degree slope instead of that wedge piece for a bonnet (hood)? The shape looks a tiny bit off.

[jonwil]

I second the idea of putting it on Cuusoo, I would LOVE a coca-cola truck.

Great MOC, you really captured the spirit of the Coca-Cola trucks I see on all the Coke ads :)

Its actually making me want a Coca-Cola right now (but I dont have any and the shops aren't open yet :)

Really nice work :thumbup:

[LEGO Guy Bri]

Excellent truck mattb483! The lift gate is very clever, I really like how it's attached to the trailer. Great job

[mattb483]

Hey guys Thank you all for your great comments and feedback I really appreciate it! I took a few suggestions about putting my model on Cuusoo and I did just that! Here is the link http://lego.cuusoo.com/ideas/view/37498 if you guys would like to support it and make this a possible future model please support. Thanks fellow Eurobrickers!

Very nice. Great job with the Coke stickers. I think the rear axle on the tractor could move a bit further back or add another axle to fill that gap.

[Venunder]

I hope Coke don't see this. They'll probably want royalties.... :) :) :)

It is pretty good anyway.

[Alasdair Ryan]

That is a really nice truck.

I like how you made the working tail gate and the pallet jack.

[Konrad]

thank you for sharing

If it gets supported on Cuusoo they will have to make a deal with TLG about that Not sure if they do, but let's find out!

Supported!

[lightningtiger]

Supporter 18 I was just now.....and Lego shouldn't have a problem with Coke, some of the soccer sets had Coca Cola logos on them.

Brick On with the pause that refreshes !

I'm sure if Lego did produce this set they would have to get some sort of lisence. But like lightningtiger said the soccer series had coca cola on there torso's of some of the mini figs. The other thing Lego could see to is the die hard Coca cola collectors who don't buy Lego would pry but this set for the Coca Cola brand logo.

Need some better lighting in your photobooth. The whole image just feels grey. MOC is nice though. :)

[Smartiepants]

I need to take some better photos but here is my effort, I think it's a fair bit bigger than the one made by the OP you can see the Camper behind

[lincolnwho]

Really cool , love the tail lift and branding : D
